I live 80 miles from your office. I’m looking for a cosmetic dentist that is closer to home. I don’t want to have consultations and x-rays from each dentist. My time is limited, and I would like to narrow my choices at home before scheduling appointments. Please give me tips on what to look for in a cosmetic dentist. I need three new crowns. Thanks, Gina<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thanks for your inquiry. Yes, we have some suggestions. There is a lot of information online about dentists and their practices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1.    Check patient reviews<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Look for online reviews about the dentist. You can check Google Business Profiles, Yelp, and Facebook reviews. You can type a dentist\u2019s name and the word reviews to find other sources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2.    Look at cosmetic dentists\u2019 websites<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

An experienced cosmetic dentist has a website. Read the doctor’s bio to learn about their training, experience, continuing education, and experience. Look for a dentist\u2019s post-graduate training in cosmetic dentistry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3.    Schedule a complimentary visit<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Most cosmetic dentists offer a complimentary consultation. Tell the scheduler you want to see the office, meet the dentist, and discuss treatment options. Many dental practices will schedule five or ten minutes with the dentist or staff to discuss your smile goals. You will have an opportunity to decide if you would feel comfortable at the dental practice. Visit at least two cosmetic dentists before you choose a provider. Ask each dentist for patients\u2019 before-and-after dental crown procedures<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
